Law Society of England and Wales

The Law Society of England and Wales is the professional body representing solicitors in England and Wales. One of its functions is to provide guidance, training and advice to support solicitors in their practice and to encourage the maintenance of the very highest standards across the profession.

Challenge

Development of a number of interactive ethical scenarios for the Law Society's Professional Standards and Ethics policy team.

Development of a comprehensive online CPD platform for a target audience of 120,000 legal professionals to support the Law Society in offering a range of in-house and external training opportunities for purchase by members.

Solution

To support the Law Society to roll-out of training and learning initiatives, Aurion Learning designed and developed three short interactive scenarios in the Articulate Storyline authoring tool that featured a combination of photography and illustration as well as the design of an animated character, Ethel, to help guide participants along their learning journey.

We provided an eLearning template and training to the Law Society team to enable the team to develop additional scenarios in-house and roll out their own training.

We also developed and deployed a comprehensive online CPD platform for a target audience of 120,000 legal professionals. This included:

Development of a range of bespoke platform features such as podcasting, an employer reporting layer and other system enhancements.

Design and development of a Law Society branded suite of online learning modules in specialist legal areas that can be purchased by CPD Centre members.

“The Law Society was pleased to work with Aurion Learning to launch the very successful CPD Centre, which is helping our members plan and manage their continuing professional development.
The CPD Centre is an invaluable resource that our members find easy to use and is especially tailored to our eLearning programmes such as Lexcel Risk Management.
The Law Society looks forward to the continued success of the CPD Centre.”
